Mr. Sosnowski forecasted Friday afternoon's 55 degree weather will be followed up by another sunny day today with temperatures in the region peaking at 50 degrees in the afternoon, then a cloudier Sunday with a chance of brief showers but temperatures of up to 60 degrees.

Monday could be chilly, depending on which way the wind blows a cold front, the meteorologist said.
